Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Newbury
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Site access
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, events in Newbury stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
